High-efficiency compression for cryogenic refrigeration
Benefits
Our high-efficiency designs ensure optimal refrigeration and expansion energy recover for compression service
Zero-leakage design with oil or magnetic bearing, including optimized AMB footprint and weight layouts for offshore application
Strong collaboration with SKF for continuous AMB optimization, enabled the first AMB for 5.5 MW floating LNG
Features
Advanced and proven design with broad range of verified wheels up to 1,000 mm diameter for large capacity machines
Wide range of sizes up to 15 MW supported on AMB or oil bearings with optional dry gas seals for aggressive gas applications
We can manage all turbomachinery through equipment installation, full-load string testing, start-up, commissioning and service
Applications
LNG feed-gas treatment (onshore and floating)
Cryogenic gas treatment: dew point control, LPG recovery, refrigeration
Petrochemical: ethylene, syngas, H2 rich process
Baker Hughes's turboexpander-compressors are available in a wide selection of frames and sizes to best match any demanding cryogenic application. Extensive in-field experience and state-of-the-art design features ensure the highest performance for simultaneous refrigeration service and energy recovery.
